The Pros and Cons of Buying Facebook likes

There are two sides to everything, especially the controversial “Buy Facebook likes” market. We’ve been using and testing these services for over a year, and we’ve become very familiar with both the Advantages and Disadvantages of buying Facebook likes. Below, you’ll find our detailed list of Pros and Cons. Read them well, and decide for yourself if these services are right for you.

The Pros

Kick-Start A Business’s Facebook Page: Instead of starting from zero, you can start from a few hundred to a few thousand Facebook Likes to quickly get things in gear.

Strengthen Your Social Credibility: To put this in simpler terms, you’ll look more reputable so people are more likely to take you seriously, like your page and/or do business with you. The more Likes and Followers you have, the more social credibility you have.

More Effective Marketing Campaigns: Your internet ad campaigns will be visibly more effective. It’s true. Looking more reputable (as mentioned above) will make Internet marketing campaigns, both on and off social networks, more effective.

Increase Online Sales and Conversions: We often see increase of an average of 20% in online sales and conversions, when bought likes are combined with a solid digital marketing campaign. Specifically, we saw the best results if you have Social Widgets or counters on your website.

Increase Natural Facebook Likes: We typically see an average increase of natural Facebook Likes by 40%. This again, is part of the whole ‘Social Credibility’ benefit but we thought it would be important to mention this dramatic boost in organic likes.

The Cons

Not Real People: The Likes/Fans you'll get are not coming from real people. They are usually inactive accounts. Any company that claims that their Buy Facebook Like service delivers real likes is almost certainly lying and should not be trusted.

Not A Complete Solution: These services only provide a boost for your marketing campaigns — they won't do everything for you. You still need to market and engage your fans to achieve success.

Decreased Ratio of Real Activity: While you'll get an overall increase in activity on your page, a higher portion of that will be inactive. If you buy Facebook followers, you'll decrease the ratio of active fans.

Somewhat Frowned Upon: Buying Facebook Likes isn’t exactly the most publicly acceptable practice, so you’ll have to keep things on the down low if you do it.

Scams Are Everywhere: Always read reviews before ordering and avoid newer and cheaper providers, as they will usually offer very low quality results. Check our test results before making a purchase.

Frequently asked Questions & Answers

The concept of buying Facebook Likes and Followers may be something you’re considering, but it raises more questions than answers. So, we’ve listed the most common questions we get asked below.

Is it really possible to buy Facebook Likes?

Yup, it's really possible! You can buy Facebook Likes for your pages or your posts, along with other services like followers and comments. There are plans to buy just a few hundred or a thousand Likes, or even millions.

Can other people tell if you buy Facebook Likes?

No, almost certainly not. It would be very hard to tell that some Likes were bought. If someone is watching closely they may notice a lot of Likes appearing quickly, but the easy solution for that is to buy Likes that will come gradually.

Are bought Facebook likes real or fake?

Bought Facebook Likes are practically always fake, in the sense that they're generated by bots or clickfarms. But that's ok because they serve the same purpose, and people won't be able to tell how they got there.

Can you make money from buying Facebook likes?

Unfortunately no, you won't be able to make money directly from buying Facebook Likes. They will help you become more popular, however, so that should help you generate more revenue in the long run.

How much should Facebook likes cost?

It depends on the quality of the Likes you buy. In general, you can get 1,000 Likes for around $20 at the least to $35 at the most, depending on who you go with. If you find a provider offering extremely cheap views, beware because they might be a scammer.

Will you get likes, dislikes, or comments when you buy Facebook likes?

Not usually. Most of the time when you order a particular service, that's all you'll get. If you want those other social signals, you'll have to buy them specifically. That's usually a good idea, because it makes the service look more natural.

Will you gain followers, clicks, or sales when you buy Facebook likes?

This really depends on whether or not you have a strong marketing campaign to go along with your Likes. Your bought Likes will attract more attention and followers, and if people like what they see they'll stick around for more. The increase in rank you get will help you get more attention in a variety of ways, but it's up to you to put out strong content that people will want to see.

How can I share my Facebook likes buying experience?

It's simple! Just submit your own comments on our review of that provider, or send us a message if we haven't yet reviewed the company you used.

Buying Facebook likes is a great way to spur organic engagement. If you want to learn more about the benefits of buying Facebook likes, read our Pros and Cons section above.

Can you really buy Facebook likes?

Indeed, you can. You can buy Facebook likes by following these simple steps:

- Find a reputable provider
- Choose one of their packages
- Place the order
- Wait for the delivery to be processed
- Start receiving Facebook likes
- Finish receiving Facebook likes
- Enjoy your new batch of Facebook likes

See? There’s nothing complicated about buying Facebook likes. You just need to make sure to find a reliable Facebook provider that won’t trick you or otherwise get you into trouble.

How does buying Facebook likes work?

There is a vast range of methods that providers use to deliver Facebook likes. The following are among the most common ones used in the industry today:

- Bot likes: With this method, the provider uses inactive accounts to like your post/page. You won’t receive any additional engagement and there is no chance for the likers to become permanent followers. This is a common, yet risky, method that can put your account and reputation at stake.
- Organic-looking likes: This method relies on organically-driven Facebook likes that are delivered from real and active Facebook profiles. This method is usually more expensive than the fake/bot likes method but is also more valuable. Those who do the liking have real profiles with full bios, profile feeds, and followers of their own.
- Reward likes: With the reward-mode method, the providers usually set some kind of competition that requires the users to like your post in order to win rewards, prizes, gift items, or receive Facebook likes of their own. This is an unpredictable method because you can never know when or if the desired number of likes will be achieved.
- Promotion likes: The provider creates an entire marketing plan revolving around your Facebook post/page and promotes it on their social networks with a strong CTA that encourages organic users to likes your post/page. Out of all the methods, this is the most natural way of receiving Facebook likes.

Are the likes that I buy going to unlike my post?

That depends. Whether or not you lose the likes you purchased can depend on several factors:

- Different quality of services: Quality providers that deliver organic Facebook likes usually have a retention guarantee that protects the endurance of their Facebook likes. Low-quality providers offer fake Facebook likes that have no retention guarantee and can drop at any time.
- Organic loss of likes: You also have to realize that regardless of whether you buy Facebook likes or not, you’re going to experience a dip in your Facebook likes. Keep in mind that the organic fluctuations will happen whether you buy Facebook likes or not.

A great way to be able to distinguish the quality providers from the scammers is by the retention guarantee. Low-quality providers avoid providing such guarantees and will not offer any significant customer protection guarantees. Always opt to collaborate with a company that guarantees the endurance of their Facebook likes.

Does buying Facebook likes really work?

It sure does. Buying Facebook likes is a well-established practice that has helped a lot of professionals kickstart their campaigns and improve the organic growth of their Facebook profiles.

Am I going to buy real or fake Facebook likes?

Once again, that depends on the provider you choose to do business with. We mentioned before that different providers use different methods of delivering their Facebook likes. What that means is that there is the possibility for you to purchase both real and fake Facebook likes.

Usually, the providers explain what type of services they provide in their Terms of Use. That’s why you always need to make sure you’ve properly researched the provider before you make the purchase.

Is buying Facebook likes a scam?

No, buying Facebook likes is not a scam. The process of buying Facebook likes is completely legitimate. However, as it is with every industry, there are scammers that only want to deceive you into purchasing their services. You must follow up on the clues and learn how to spot the scammers. Be careful, though. While there are those who obviously lack credibility, there are also those providers who seem reliable but are in fact scammers.

One of the best ways to learn how to distinguish the scammers from the quality providers is to read extensive and informative reviews, such as those above.

Is buying Facebook likes safe?

Definitely. Buying Facebook likes is totally safe and none of the aforementioned methods will jeopardize the integrity of your Facebook account. Buying Facebook likes is only risky if you choose to share your password with the provider. In that situation, the provider has total access to your account and can do things that are not according to Facebook’s Terms of Use. We highly recommend that you don’t disclose any sensitive information with any provider.

Is it illegal to buy Facebook likes?

No. All of the methods of delivering Facebook likes are in compliance with Facebook’s Terms of Use and are completely legitimate. Although, there are some methods that are more preferable than others, like organically delivering the Facebook likes. Either way, buying Facebook likes is a completely safe and legitimate practice that will only aid your Facebook account.

Can a company remove Facebook likes after delivering them?

This is not a very probable scenario. We have yet to encounter a situation where the provider has removed the social signals after delivering them. We don’t see what kind of motive the provider would have to do that. You can always experience a sudden drop of likes due to natural fluctuations or if Facebook is doing a cleanup of inactive Facebook accounts on the platform.
